To the seconder of this motion, Andy Howie, is this motion (if passed ) enforceable?
I will try yet again to the elected Executive director of ChessScotland....
Yes or no ?
Robin, I have given you an answer prior to going to bed. Yes / No doesn't answer it!
For Fide rated Events it is now part of the rules hence motion has no effect, it is in force
for non Chess Scotland events, we can't force organisers to follow therefore they can be described as guidelines for them
The AGM needs to decide if they want to enforce for Chess Scotland events, the same as with the edict on having to use a Chess Scotland Arbiter for Chess Scotland events (which mirrored FIDE's edict on Arbiters for FIDE events!).
So there are several possibilities at the AGM (only concerning Chess Scotland Events)
1. They agree with the guidelines and will enforce for Chess Scotland events
2. They agree with the guidelines and will recommend for Chess Scotland events
3. They reject the guidelines completely with respect to Chess Scotland Events
It is not yes or no but one of the three above that will be the outcome
I can't put it more simply than this
"How sad to see, what used to be, a model of decorum and tranquility become like any other sport, a battleground for rival ideologies to slug it out with glee"
